or so you said ~or~ it’s always something

threw myself down
on a bed of roses –
wine and candle wax sweetness.
(you held no flame to the wick)
…too windy?

threw myself down
on a fluff filled duvet –
intoxicated passion awaiting.
(the pillows weren’t fluffed enough)
…of course, …the pillows.

threw myself down
once, in a courdoroy hug –
comforted soul embraces.
(your velcro got caught on my sweater)
…it’s always something.

threw myself down
on a quilt clad couch –
cheap booze and cheaper drugs.
(you forgot the glass pipe)
…or so you said.
